In the continuous spring rain, all around Yangshi County shouted and slaughtered, and thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers frantically rushed under the city wall.

The bows and arrows on the top of the city whizzed into the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed to the bottom of the city wall, stirring up bright blood flowers on the spot.

Screams rang out one after another, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who had been hit by the arrows were either dead or wounded, and those who were not dead fell to the ground wailing.

In the warfare of ancient times, bows and arrows were indeed the best long-range weapons for killing enemies in this era.

The only pity is that the bow and arrow is difficult to really aim, strictly speaking, it is impossible to aim, it is difficult to grasp the line, unlike the firearms of later generations, there is a crosshair, mastered the aiming skills, after a certain amount of training, within a hundred and tens of meters, the average person can do the basic hit target. The use of bows and arrows depends on personal experience, skill, and talent.

In addition, although the bow and arrow of this ancient era seems very simple and easy to make, in fact, the production process of each real strong bow is very complicated, and the bow-making materials used must also be carefully selected and specially made, so it is extremely difficult to make a real strong bow and it takes a long time.

Military bows and arrows naturally cannot be ordinary bows and arrows, because ordinary bows and arrows are insufficient in both lethality and range. And the military strong bow, in general, has a range of about 120 to 150 meters. Note that this is the range, not the lethality, in fact, in this ancient time, it was about 200 paces.

Therefore, the bow and arrow of ancient times, the bow and arrow used by soldiers in the army, the really best effective killing range is about 100 meters.

If you can hit the target within a distance of 100 paces, such an archer is already a very strong archer.

Of course, a stronger bow, like the one used by Huang Zhong, must have a longer range, as long as he can pull his bow, the bow and arrow shot out are basically twice the range of the ordinary military strong bow, and the effective killing is two or three hundred meters. If it was Huang Zhong's internal force and true qi that shot out the bow and arrow, the range would be longer and the damage would be stronger.

Liu Xian had long wanted to research and make stronger bows and arrows, but he hadn't had time yet. Therefore, the current bows and arrows are actually the standard strong bows of the military of the Han Dynasty. Effective killing is a distance of more than 100 steps.

Liu Xian's earlier idea of training a large number of archers in the future, and the idea that his military horses should focus on long-range killing must also be based on the ability to develop stronger bows and arrows.

Now, the officers and soldiers of Yangshi County actually don't have many bows and arrows in their hands, and some of them are actually simple bows and arrows made by some people in the city or those big families, although they can be used and have a certain lethality, but they are not as good as the military standard strong bows.

The Yellow Turbans began to attack the city, and they charged the city walls quickly, although the bows and arrows on the city were fired at them, but because of the number of bows and arrows, they did not have a killing effect on their charging crowd. Although bows and arrows shot many Yellow Turban soldiers, they could not really stop the Yellow Turbans from rushing to the city walls.

In fact, if the soldiers besieging the city can make more preparations, such as when they rush over, let people carry large shields, so that the bows and arrows on the head of the city will be less harmful to them. Alternatively, if the Yellow Turban soldiers were all dressed in armor, they could also reduce the damage of bows and arrows fired from the city.

However, the current soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, they are mixed with clothes and decorations, and there is no uniform clothing, basically, few people can have real protective armor. Even if a few people have it, they have it all through the battle with the government. Their Yellow Turban Army was not able to make their own armor.

These Yellow Turban soldiers, speaking of which, they are actually some ordinary people who have put down their hoes, and they are all bitter haha. No, many of them didn't even put down their hoes, and still used their farm tools as weapons.

Because they don't have any protective armor, even if the bows and arrows on the city are not very lethal, if they hit them, they can shoot them or injure them, thus losing their combat effectiveness.

It's a pity that these Yellow Turban soldiers are no longer the simple and hard-working people they used to be, they have become thieves who do all kinds of evil, at least most of them have become like that.

At this time, these Yellow Turban soldiers, they seem to be brainwashed thieves, they are also hungry and afraid in the mountains, at this time they have only one thought, they want to capture Yangshi County as soon as possible, and go into the city to grab money and food.

At this time, it also highlights the ferocity and cruelty of these yellow scarves now.

Those Yellow Turban soldiers who were hit by arrows, no one would come to their rescue at this time.

The Yellow Turban soldiers who were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, no matter how miserable they wailed like this, but the Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed past them, basically no one would look at them, with a numb and indifferent face.

Those who did not participate in the siege, in the Yellow Turban Formation that was in the back formation, those soldiers were also motionless, looking at the front indifferently. Of course, if you look closely, there is actually a trace of panic in their eyes, because if the thousand Yellow Turban troops in front of them are not good at attacking the city, then they are the next wave of siege soldiers.

Bumper Bumper!

The Yellow Turban soldiers who rushed to the bottom of the city wall of Yangshi County, they braved the arrows above their heads, and together they carried them over, and the heavy tree pole stood up and leaned heavily against the city.

Of course, not all of them are such big tree poles, and there are many real ladders. There is an iron hook on the ladder, and when it reaches the top of the city, it can hook and bite the top of the city. This was to prevent the defenders at the head of the city from easily toppling their ladders.

As for those big tree poles, there will be people below who are fixing the tree poles, also to prevent the officers and soldiers at the head of the city from easily toppling and overthrowing them.

In addition, there were many Yellow Turban soldiers with ropes on their shoulders, and when they rushed to the bottom of the city, they would throw the rope up, let the hook at the end of the rope hook the city, and then climb up the rope.

The hook is not unique to the post-modern era, and the climbing tools that appeared in this ancient era have long been widely used in the army.

The bows and arrows on the head of the city have limited damage to the besieging Yellow Turban army below, and the thousands of Yellow Turban troops facing each wall are only dozens of people killed or injured them. After all, it is not so easy for a bow and arrow to shoot a person who is rushing at high speed.

In the west of the city, Huang Xu can't really fight now, but his calm and wise and some unique insights have made Wang Bao look at him differently. Wang Bao and Huang Xu have not known each other for a day or two, after Huang Xu came back from Youzhou this time, his condition was almost better, and Liu Xian also deliberately let him follow him, so he has also had a lot of contact with Wang Bao recently.

At least Wang Bao can also see that Liu Xian seems to have higher expectations for Huang Xu.

Therefore, even if Huang Xu looked younger than Liu Xian, Wang Bao did not dare to ignore it. Although he is the county lieutenant of Yang's County, he is now basically based on Huang Xu's opinions.

Wang Bao saw that the Yellow Turban Army under the city had already erected the ladder and others to his city, so he said eagerly: "Brother Huang Xu, you shouldn't do it, let Sister Ling accompany you here to command the battle, let's kill him for a while." ”

Wang Bao was worried that those Yellow Turban soldiers would come up from the ladder.

"Slow, Brother Wang Bao, now we don't have to be so nervous, our city is well prepared. Tell the order to go down and attack with a sakile first. Don't save, don't stop, just smash it outside the city wall, and be careful, our people try not to show their heads first. ”

Huang Xu stopped Wang Bao Dao.

"Sister, you are good at archery, take a team of archers, and shoot the Yellow Turban archers and their generals under the city as much as possible."

"Okay, be careful yourself." Huang Wudie also had some itchy hands, but after following Liu Xian, she rarely had the opportunity to kill. Now that Liu Xian is not here, in the face of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, she can let go of her hands and feet this time.

Of course, this is not to say that Huang Wudie is thirsty for killing, but that Huang Wudie is stubborn, and in the past few years when she and her father Huang Zhong sought medical treatment for Huang Xu, she is actually at the age when a person's character is formed.

In other words, Huang Wudie's current character is actually the character of a chivalrous woman. She is vicious and hateful, extremely chivalrous, and she will definitely take action if she is not used to seeing it. She is also used to seeing the evil of the Yellow Turban Army, so she really doesn't have a good impression of the Yellow Turban Army.

"What about me? There is Brother Huang Xu here, you are in command, and it seems that there is nothing to do with our Wang Leopard. Wang Bao couldn't help but ask when he saw Huang Wudie pointing to the flaming red cloak behind him and walking towards the city wall with dozens of archers.

Huang Xu's slightly grim face couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, and said to Wang Bao: "Brother Wang Bao, the west wall of our city is more than a mile long, and you are mainly on guard against the Yellow Turban Army under the city from killing the city along their ladders. You can patrol the city with an elite army of soldiers and knock them back wherever they come up. ”

"Oh yes, then I'll leave it to you, Brother Huang Xu, here." When Wang Bao heard this, he hurriedly beckoned a team of men and horses to follow him to the city to inspect.

At this time, the officials and soldiers guarding the city had already moved. There were not many real government officers and soldiers, but there were enough young and strong people to ensure that every wall on the head of the city was guarded by two or three people.

And among these two or three young men, a real official officer and soldier will be assigned to direct their movements.

The program for defending the city was not formulated at the present time, and it had already been read and memorized by real officers and men.

When defending the city, they don't have to be taught what they need to do when and how to do it.

In the plan to defend the city, when the battle is about to be fought, the people at the head of the city naturally have to avoid the bows and arrows shot from under the city first.

What were the walls built for? It is to take advantage of the condescending superiority of the city wall, to use the city wall to avoid the direct damage given to you by the enemy. Especially the enemy's bow and arrow.

It was not only the officers and soldiers at the head of the city who fired arrows at the Yellow Turban army besieging the city, but also the archers among the Yellow Turban army, who would also rush close to the city and shoot arrows at the head of the city, and they even hoped that they could use bows and arrows to shoot the officers and soldiers at the head of the city, opening a gap for the siege of the city.

Therefore, at this time, it is actually you who come and go, and the bows and arrows keep shooting at each other.

When an enemy soldier rushes to the bottom of the city under the city wall, it is the time when the defenders throw wood and rolling stones at the head of the city.

At this time, one person will be observing, the officers and soldiers will be directing, and the other two will carry the sassaga and smash it down.

In the program of defending the city, we strive to make every person who defends the city be unhurried and not in a hurry.

The observer should alert them to the presence of bows and arrows, and to alert them to the presence of enemy soldiers in the city. In particular, look for ladders or other siege tools outside the battlements they are on. If so, how will it be handled.

At the head of the city, facing the heavy ladder that has been erected, it is not easy to knock down the ladder and overturn it. Because whether it is a centipede ladder or a cloud ladder with a large tree pole, it is quite heavy, especially when the enemy soldiers below start to climb up the ladder, it will also increase the pressure on the ladder, and it is impossible to push it away with bare hands, unless a strong man comes. But in fact, even Hercules is unlikely, and it is extremely difficult to make even some martial artists come in the future. Because this is also a relationship of gravity and gravity.

The gravity of the center of gravity of the ladder is pressed towards the head of the city, and if you want to push it away at the head of the city, then you must push the ladder upright, so that the gravity of the center of gravity of the ladder is pushed away in the other direction. But where is the manpower so long?

Therefore, at this time, you must use some tools, such as some forks, to push away with forks to push those ladders away. However, if those ladders have iron hooks at the top of the city, it will be difficult to push them open.

Also, those who hook the head of the city with a rope hook should not try to loosen the hook at this time so that the enemy soldiers who climb up the rope will fall back.

This is also a matter of gravity of the center of gravity, when the rope hook hooked the city, the enemy soldiers below will be tightened, plus the gravity of them climbing up along the rope, at this time the rope will be tight, the hook will bite the wall will also bite very tight, trying to pick up the hook with bare hands, this is also very difficult. However, these rope hooks are easier than those ladders, because you can just cut those ropes with a knife.

At this time, those real officers and soldiers have to be responsible for cutting the ropes that are hooked.

This is where the main event comes in.

The cruelty of siege warfare is the attack around those ladders.

The enemy soldiers climbed up the ladder as fast as they could, and if there were no accidents, they would soon climb to the top of the city.

This city wall that is more than ten meters high and less than twenty meters high, and it is really a matter of more than ten breaths to climb up with a cloud ladder.

The defenders at the head of the city must use all the garrison materials they have prepared at the head of the city to smash the enemy soldiers down before they can climb up to the top of the city.

Oak wood, rolling stones, and even boiling night incense.
